They want us to work so bad it’s gross. They’re glamorizing pizza delivery.

This is absolutely disgusting. “People love my attitude.” “Her fans can't get enough.” (As if she's like super famous or something?) “A few journeys with no tip at all but she didn't complain” (fuck no, if you don't tip you can't afford delivery go pick it up) I've delivered for a big chain pizza company, it's shitty work and you waste gas and put milage and wear and tear on your car for peanuts. It's not glamorous or “easy money.” They want people back to work so bad and its disgusting. Hey dominos, your greed is showing.

I Turned in Resignation Letter and I Feel Alive Again

After literally being blindsided by a “Developing” rating in my review for last year, I had enough. I completed major IT projects (migrated network folders to OneDrive, transitioned email archiving from local unsecured files to the cloud, managed a PC refresh effort, etc.) affecting thousands of end users, my boss and director thought it was better to bully me into being more positive despite their constant downplaying of my efforts, suggesting my role is finite and just outright bullying me throughout the year, so my rating was the last straw. I took a 3 week personal leave for a mental health break and used it to fan out my resumes everywhere. Fortunately, I landed a job and even have other companies as alternatives. The moment I got my offer, I wrote out my resignation letter and sent it my fourth day back after being on leave and felt like a…

How outdated is a suit ?

How unpractical , uncomfortable and outdated is a ( 3-piece ) suit ? Most people i know are always saying how smart and handsome people look in a suit . The biggest criminals wear suits . ( politicians , bankers , ceo´s etc. ) The fact that a person is wearing one doesn´t make them a better person . The only reason i can think of is wearing one because you don´t want to make your hands dirty . And no , wearing one doesn´t make you better than anyone else .

As a recent graduate & new employee of Rutgers… can someone ELI5 the concept of striking?

In case you haven’t heard, Rutgers faculty unions called a strike this week – the first strike in University history. I am a Rutgers employee in the URA-AFT Union, who has just posted they are considering voting to authorize a strike in solidarity (we also do not have contracts). The inner Poli Sci major in me is loving this whole stick-it-to-the-man-eat-the rich-pay-us-an-equitable-wage sentiment that strikes bring… but I am concerned about what this means for me as an employee. If my Union strikes, what does this mean? Do I automatically lose pay, whether I partake or not? If I choose to work, what happens? How long do / can strikes last? Should I be worried about my job security should I partake? Thanks y’all, this is my first “big girl job” fresh outta college & this is super wild to witness such intense history in the making.

If it weren’t a legal requirement to increase wages they would have decreased that too! Also the shift supervisor wage was increased by 60p last year, this year they reduced it to a 50p increase.

Planning to quit this shit show..

To keep this short.. Worked 6 months in a cleanroom, asked to be transferred to the warehouse since they needed people there. I was interviewed and got the job. 13 months later, 7 people needed to be transferred from the warehouse (as covid was a big business for the company, but no longer). I was the first one, the other 6 never got transferred for whatever reason.. unfair. I let it be, never complained. I was transferred to export. Now 6 months later, all of a sudden, they “need” me in the cleanroom. It will “only be every now and again”. Yet I found out that there is a new opening in export, that of “cell-leader”. A job i have actually been doing for the last 6 months without the pay associated with it. What's worse: other people have been offered the job. Literally been offered the job.. thankfully they…

Never have loyalty. Ever.

My Aunt (56) said I (31F) should share this story with someone so meh, I'll share it here. Seems appropriate. For context, I work in service (CSR/AM type stuff) and have for 8+ years. This job was close to home and hybrid which was a plus for me because my old job was fully onsite and that did a number on my anxiety. I can only take so much office banter before I shut down and literally want to stab my eyes out. So, yay, hybrid! /s After no training despite being promised (was supposed to be 6 weeks, was dumped on the floor after 3 weeks with no knowledge of what I was supposed to be doing), I was tired of getting baked every day just to force myself to show up. I pull my managers into a meeting and bring up the fact that it's been about 2…
